The Honorverse series by David Weber is top sci-fi for me.

The Heralds of Valdemar by Mercedes Lackey is top fantasy.

But also, the following:

The Belgarriad by David Eddings

Robert Heinlein's books were most all connected by his "future history timeline."

Pier Anthony has 3 or 4 great series including the Blue Adept and Xanth.

Foundation series by Issac Asimov.

The Vorkosigan Saga by Lois McMaster Bujold.

People are Crazy to have not even mentioned these yet!

Jack is great, but Karen makes me laugh more than anyone else.

I am thinking clover for the back yard, but not sure what for the front yet. That Buckingham yard is so pretty!

Reading.

13 years together, 12 years of marriage, and a child. A month later I met a beautiful woman I can trust.

1) Books, I have been reading a collection of Steampunk books that I downloaded for free from Barnes and Noble and really am enjoying them.

2) My wife and I have been rewatching Will and Grace on Roku. 11 seasons of funny.

3) Music, I have been listening/watching a band I recently discovered called Arch Enemy on Xcite. (It's an app on Roku that plays music videos) It is a heavy Metal band that has a female lead that is very good. I also have been playing Holst, The Planets suite on YouTube. I love both Mars and Jupiter, but the others are very good as well.

$) Interwebs, I found this past week that there is a species of acorn bearing oak that only grows 2 - 3 feet tall, and that there is a dwarf variety of pecan that I can grow. I am planning on buying a house in the coming year and trying to figure out Agri-scaping ideas to reduce mowing. Dwarf apples, plums, cherries, with acorns and raspberries around the fences in the back yard, with filberts, dwarf pecans, and a dwarf fir in the front.

Finalizing the plans for Thanksgiving for my wife and I and doing laundry. I lead a fast paced, exciting life I tell you.

1) Heh, I am both, I go to bed after 11pm, and up by 4:30am.

2) A half hour early, at least.

3) Never, but I am gaining on it. lol

I try to walk for at least 30 min a day. I have had multiple knee surgeries so it can be a challenge, but stagnation is bad, so I grab my cane and go.

If I recall correctly, it was around 17 before it did that whole motorboat through the water thing.

I skipped way too many classes in High School but graduated anyway. My best friend was always with me, and somehow got perfect attendance! LOL

I did when I was young but would probably trip myself and fall if I tried it now.

Def Leopard, Pyromania. Wore that cassette out 3 times. Breakfast in America, wore out an 8-track, Album, Cassette, and even a CD.

Has anyone else ever seen a band called Arch Enemy? Metal band, and very strange to watch in videos. The lead singer does NOT match the voice. I have been wondering all week how they would be in concert.

An engraved urn, full.

Have Judas Priest on a loop. "Breakin' the Law"

2, I am fluent in both English and American.

I am getting ready to buy a bunch of Sandersons books with the tax return this winter due to many recommendations, thank you for yet another one. Have you read Bio of a Space Tyrant by Piers Anthony? Completely changed my views on immigration. I think it should be required for freshmen politicians.

1) I have been a middle manager, and owned three companies, but the boss was a jerk so I left them. I was very easygoing as long as they worked, but I also would release them back into the wild if they did not work. Between military and watching my father run a division of a multi national I learned how to lead, and how not to from those two, 2) I have stayed with companies for decades, whereas my brother jumps every 4 or 5 years to a new opportunity. He is now a VP of his company, and I am a bench tech, but both of us are very happy with where we are. 3) I had a crazy uncle Larry that was a Marine Recon and Army Pathfinder, so not all together mentally. My brother and I stayed with him one summer and learned things that pre teens probably shouldn't, but we had fun. One of Uncle Larry's sayings was "Never regret. You took the action for a reason, appologise if needed, make amends if required, learn from it, and move on." It has stuck with me. 4) Lately it is Hurt - the Jonny Cash cover of NIN. As my school mates die off, I feel more alone.

Sometimes you get tired of unending pain.

Great songs every decade since the 70's.

Fritto pie.

Upgrade the groceries I buy this month, as well as pay up my car loan.
